He's in Detective Conan, and he's the mastermind behind everything.

Hotaru silently gave Sonoko a thumbs up in his heart; this young lady was definitely a genius.

However, he lowered his voice and said:

"I think you're just as naive as Kudo. You believe whatever people say. The idea that if someone walks with their right hand still, they're carrying a gun? Please, that's a ridiculous notion. If you're judging people based on preconceived notions, then even a random passerby will seem suspicious."

"This……"

Upon hearing this, Sonoko instinctively wanted to retort and prove that she was not someone who lacked her own opinions and believed everything she heard.

However, she felt that what Ying Sheng said actually made some sense...

Ying Sheng pointed with his chin to another fountain opposite them: "If you're worried, let's sit over there. We've already overheard some of the gossip here, and it's quite strange. We'll just observe the rest to avoid any real danger."

Sonoko suddenly felt conflicted: "Isn't it wrong to abandon our friends? They might be in danger, you know...?"

"Should we stay here and let them take a couple of bullets?" Ying Sheng asked.

"..."

Sonoko agreed, bent over, stood up, and walked towards the other side.

If Kiyoko was just making up a lie to deceive Shinichi Kudo, then everyone would be happy; but if what she said was true, then there was really nothing the two of them could do by staying here, and it would be easier to call the police later if they stayed further away.

Ying Sheng chuckled and stood up casually: "There's no need to be so cautious. We're not doing anything bad."

"Isn't this a bad thing? We've overheard a huge secret."

After walking a little further away, Sonoko straightened up, her eyes filled with a mixture of excitement and worry: "Kudo spoke first in that conversation. In that situation, he wouldn't say anything irrelevant, would he? Maybe there really is something big happening over there."

"...You really are a fickle person."

"What are you talking about? I just don't know what to expect. Ah, it feels so strange." Sonoko thought for a moment, then took out her phone. "Didn't you just mention Suzuki Tower? Let the people up there use binoculars to look around. Hopefully, they don't actually find any strange people."

Ying Sheng reminded him, "Be careful to use a sunshade so that no one notices you."

"...This is getting more and more frightening. I wonder if something really will happen here." Sonoko dialed the phone of the security supervisor at Suzuki Tower, gave the instructions, and sat down again on the new bench, looking at the fountain across the street.

"Aren't we being too obvious?"

"Just taking a break from the competition to relax, what's the big deal?"

"The key is you and me."

"Then I'll call you Xiaolan."

"...go to hell!"

Suzuki Sonoko instantly distanced herself from him by a foot, sitting on either side of him, just like Kudo Shinichi and Kiyoko. She turned her head and looked at Hotaru with disdain, about to speak, when she caught a glimpse of Kudo Shinichi standing up and walking towards the suspicious person they had mentioned.

"Hey, hey, you can't be that reckless, can you?"

Ying Sheng clicked his tongue in amazement, took out his phone, opened the camera, and started recording.

“You know what, Sonoko? Regardless of whether that person has a problem or not, Kudo being brave enough to go over there is already incredibly admirable. Recording this video and playing it at their wedding would be really interesting.”

"I'm really impressed by you, your ideas are really strange." Sonoko also took out her phone and turned on the camera. "But it sounds like fun, I want to film it too."

"Pay attention to photographing the cedar tree; don't miss any details."

"OK, you'll have to share it then."

Because the fountain sculpture was blocking Kiyoko's view, Sonoko simply got up and walked a little to the edge.

Isn't this a bit too blatant?

Ying Sheng mentally scoffed, and taking advantage of Sonoko's distraction, he quietly pulled a small makeup mirror from his pocket, adjusted its angle, searched for a spot of light on the ground, and activated his [Berserk] skill, transforming the target:

Light!

The speed of light remains constant, but the frequency can change. E=hv, where E is the energy of the photon, h is Planck's constant, and v is the frequency. A single point of killing intent can be instantly burned away. In a picosecond-level instant, the efficiency of berserk enhancement is unimaginably high.

As Ying Sheng could see with his naked eye, even space itself was distorted near the spot of light, before returning to normal after a moment.

Of course, this is just because the surrounding air was instantly heated to an extremely high temperature, and the moisture in the air caused a visual illusion.

Ying Sheng did not harbor such unrealistic fantasies regarding the spatial dimensions of pulsed laser interference.

With the results confirmed, Ying Sheng was quite satisfied.

Last night, when facing the third drone from an unknown force, he wanted to test this idea, but Xiao Lan's "Rain of Flowers" actually hit him, so he gave up.

Ying Sheng looked at the glass exterior wall of the stadium, projected the light spot onto it, and confirmed the curvature and reflection angle. When Kudo Shinichi and the suspicious person were only three meters apart, he slightly shifted his hand and activated Berserk.

She then immediately put away the makeup mirror, raised her hand to hold the phone, and continued taking pictures.

[Love +2]

Not bad, but Kiyoko is so bloodthirsty.

What Ying Sheng's phone screen accurately recorded was that the suspicious person initially looked rather bewildered after noticing Kudo Shinichi walking towards him, and as Kudo Shinichi continued to approach, his right hand slowly touched his waist.

Shinichi Kudo continued forward.

The suspicious person put down their phone, then suddenly froze.

His body stiffened completely in that instant, his eyes widened like copper bells, his pupils dilated infinitely, and a violent shockwave seemed to be generated from within his brain, causing his head to tremble violently, and his hard skull shattered like fragile porcelain.

This was because a high-energy pulsed laser instantly vaporized his flesh and blood, causing the gas to expand violently and generate enormous internal pressure inside his skull.

Generally speaking, with laser-guided incisions and drainage, the internal pressure is not enough to cause a person's head to explode like a watermelon.

But whether it was because Ying Sheng deliberately added three points of killing intent that worked, almost instantly...

Bang——! ! !

The hot air balloon exploded with a loud bang right in front of Shinichi Kudo.

Red and white sparks flew everywhere, like ribbons bursting from balloons. In just a few seconds, the man's body fell backward like a puppet that had lost its support, crashing heavily to the ground and raising a cloud of dust.

Shinichi Kudo stood there blankly, without making a move.

Tick ​​tock——!

A drop of blood dripped from the tip of his nose.

The world seemed to stand still at that moment, and he felt as if his soul had drifted away to who-knows-where.

But, perhaps following his detective instincts, he still looked down.

pat--!

A Glock fell from the corpse's waist.

"what--!!!"

A terrified scream then rang out, coming from a passerby strolling in the square. Sonoko's ears twitched, and she put down her phone in confusion, looking toward the source of the sound.

I saw it; it was Ying Sheng.

Ying Sheng shook his head: "It's too bloody. To avoid giving you nightmares, it's best not to watch it. Something really serious has happened here. We'd better not get involved. Let's go back. It's a pity. I wonder if the karate competition will be suspended."

Amidst the screams of passersby, the word "dead" had already appeared. Sonoko quickly asked, "With Kudo and Kiyoko? How are they?"

“They’re fine. The deceased was the suspicious person they mentioned,” Hotaru said seriously. “Kudo will definitely tell the police about what we eavesdropped on. Sonoko, for your own safety, this must be kept a secret.”

Chapter 276 Glory rests on Ran! Farewell, Shinichi!

Sonoko is a person with a strong sense of justice, but she will not refuse such a reasonable request as long as it does not violate her principles and protects herself.

She nodded quickly and asked, "Can I call the police?"

“Anyone can do this, there’s no need.” Ying Sheng turned and headed towards the stadium entrance and exit. “Let’s see how far the police investigation goes. We can get close and listen to what’s going on because we know Kudo.”

Sonoko was still quite curious. As she followed Hotaru, she glanced in the direction of Shinichi Kudo, but all she could see was Shinichi Kudo's back as he crouched down to examine the corpse. She could only see a black edge of the corpse to see what it looked like.

That man's blue shirt was soaked in blood.

Sonoko turned around: "What exactly happened? I didn't hear any gunshots. Could it have been a silenced pistol?"

"How would I know if the people on Suzuki Tower have discovered any suspicious individuals?" Hotaru retorted.

Sonoko immediately called the person on the other end, but as soon as she got through, she wondered how they could have made any discoveries in such a short time. To her surprise, they actually did provide a finding:

“A woman with a reddish-brown mushroom haircut appeared on the rooftop of a nearby building, carrying a guitar case on her back. I was about to report this to the lady immediately, but she took out a pair of binoculars from the guitar case, glanced a few times in the direction of the stadium, and then turned and left.”

Sonoko quickly pressed, "Did they just leave?"

"Yes, did something happen to Miss?"

"Ask him which building it is," Ying Sheng, who was listening in, said. "Let's try to track down the person's location so we can anonymously report it to the police later."

Sonoko relayed that the man immediately gave her the location and said he could try to follow her. He then asked if the young lady needed bodyguards, and said he would send someone over immediately.

"No need. Just be careful not to get spotted by the other side; those people could be very dangerous," Sonoko said.

"It doesn't matter if we lose them, it's none of our business anyway," Ying Sheng added.

After hanging up the phone, Sonoko looked at Hotaru with disdain: "I've discovered that you have absolutely no sense of justice."

"That's because you didn't discover the bad things I secretly did, otherwise I wouldn't be able to describe it so simply."

Ying Sheng smiled, walked back to the stadium against the flow of people who had come out to watch the commotion, and returned to his seat. Xiao Lan's next game was still some time away.

However, Ran was already watching the game from the edge of the field, and she had obviously been paying attention to this side before. A moment later, she noticed that Hotaru and the other two had returned, and she made a gesture towards them from afar, pointing to Eri and the other two in the next row.

Hotaru nodded, turned to look at Makoto Kyogoku on his right, and pointed to the two Mori guys leaning against the railing to the lower right.

"Kyogoku-senpai, those two just had an argument?"

Xiao Lanbi's gesture was to put her hands together and then separate them, the meaning couldn't be clearer.

They were asked to sit together, but Ran had been trying to persuade Eri for a long time, and now Ran wanted them to separate, which meant something must have happened.

Makoto Kyogoku nodded: "I didn't pay attention to the specifics of what happened, but not long after you left, the gentleman in the wheelchair started shouting loudly, saying something like, 'It's all someone's doing, they were just waiting for this kind of moment.'"

I looked over and saw another young lady in front of them. She didn't say anything and just turned and left.

After that, the man kept explaining something to the woman next to him, but I stopped paying attention after his voice returned to normal.

"What does that young lady look like?" Ying Sheng asked.

"I didn't pay much attention to the specifics, but she was probably in her early twenties, though she dressed very provocatively," said Makoto Kyogoku.

"That's it."
